We've learned about Google and Samsung's second quarter financial results already and expect more companies to make similar reports in the coming days. The reports we've read so far are encouraging although Samsung needs to work harder and double time during the second half of the year. But when it comes to the whole tablet market, we want to know if such Android mobile device is still popular.

Remember the Lenovo S60 that launched in India last May? The mid-range smartphone is finally getting a taste of the sweet Android 5.0 Lollipop. From KitKat to Lollipop, the phone is about to get sweeter than ever. Aside from being sold in India, the Lenovo S60 was also made available in Russia complete with it's 5-inch IPS display screen, 13 megapixel rear camera, 5 megapixel front-facing camera, 4G/LTE connectivity, and a 2150 mAh battery.

We got wind of the Lenovo Vibe P1 early this year, among the numerous Lenovo gadgets that were supposed to be launched at the Mobile World Congress 2015 in Barcelona. Well that didn’t happen, but no worries, the Lenovo Vibe P1 is apparently nearing launch – this is usually what is signaled when a phone is certified by China’s TENAA.

The ZUK Z1 is a new entry to the mobile arena yet it’s highly anticipated because its manufacturer has been boasting about its large battery. We only had few details until this week when some details have been presented in a special event. As you all know by now, ZUK is a new phone brand backed by Lenovo. The company's first flagship smartphone will run CyanogenOS and its screen will feature a U-Touch fingerprint scanner-gesture control system that allows a new way to swipe and unlock the screen.

Another player has entered the China-made smartphone industry. Meet ZUK, a new startup that is said to be backed by Lenovo and Chinese software company 360. The name Lenovo alone makes us think that this one has big potential but we have yet to see if its first entry is good enough to rival the numerous models in the market today.

At Lenovo Tech World in Beijing, Lenovo introduced a lot of new products and ideas for all of us. Earlier, we shared with you the Lenovo Cast, the first media casting device from the company. It is set to rival Chromecast but instead of being in a dongle form, it's more like a puck or a smaller Nexus Player. The Moto Maker's availability in China was also announced at the event.

Almost a year after Motorola launched the Moto Maker in Germany, the company has finally made available the web customization service in China. This is the second country outside of the United States to allow consumers to personalize their own Moto X online . This means more people, probably millions of them Chinese, can have smartphones that are unique, attractive, and one-of-a-kind from Motorola.

Motorola DROID Turbo owners have been wondering when the official Lollipop update will be released for them. While most Motorola Moto smartphones quickly and regularly receive the sweetness of Android 5.0, the DROID Turbo isn't as lucky but we've got word that the much-awaited version, actually Android 5.1 already, is coming middle of June.
